Re: Spacer Rests Global Confusion

Hello R., A variable is nothing more than a name for a value, a piece of text in the case of Lily. Using it with a backslash ahead of its name leads to this value being inserted at this point in the Lily code. It’s the same as in all programming languages, there no implied magic at at all

Hi list. I am new to the LilyPond. I am trying to understand spacer rests and global block. I know that you can use the global block to handle things like tempo and time throughout a piece however regardless of what I try it always seems to create an extra unnecessary staff. Of course I tried to
